Although Noah makes a good argument for and is a clear example supporting that decision, the fear of the differences observed between them and the Communities secludes them from realizing the possibility; it is from such people that Noah is secluded and made ‘othered’, much in the same way people of colonized societies may be for associating with persons believed to be their…
When the lord tells Noah to build an ark in the original text, Noah does so without asking any questions on how to build an Ark or anything. He shows 100% co-operation,…
Almost every religion in the world has a story about the “Great Flood” which destroys the earth, and each teaches its followers a different story about this disaster. While the Babylonians have the story of Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Judeo Christians have Noah from the Bible. Both men save a few people and many animals. In these stories, Noah and Utnapishtim seem to have similar situations, but a further analysis shows how truly different the two stories are.…
The Genesis flood account portrays the ideal picture of a God who is merciful and perfect. In Genesis 7:7 and 13, only Noah’s family of eight board the ark built alone by his three sons and himself. That ark was hudge! Tragically, nobody outside of Noah’s family listened to the warnings. Interestingly, after Noah and his family were in the ark, God closes the door, which would have been ginormous. According to Genesis 7:12, God let rain fall down from the heavens and gush up from the earth over a period of forty days and forty…

It is truly amazing to find out how much God’s love is to mankind is. HE is a supreme being, because how can we explain the knowledge he possess. HE is a God of new beginnings and HE has existed before the world was even created. The bible says “In the beginning, God…” there was no account of how HE came into existence and the whole idea of what we are seeing today has been predetermined by HIM and it is still very much relevant to our lives today.…
He found this nice man he liked named Noah so he asked him to do a favor for him. “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because i have found you righteous in this generation.” God also asked him to take animals each and every kind, male and female. Then God flooded earth for a hundred and fifty days and it took almost a year for the water to dry up. God said he would never do this tragedy again.…
Buddhism is a way of life that is continuously growing due to a variety of reasons. The word, Buddhism, derives from “budhi”, which means “to awaken” (White, 1993). There are various, diverse types of this philosophy. The Dhamma or truth, which is the core of this instruction, is the only constant (White, 1993). This is one on many worldviews prevalent in today’s society. This particular worldview, Buddhism, will be compared and contrasted with the biblical worldview.…
What does Genesis, chapters one through eleven in particular, teach pertaining to the world? Specifically speaking in regards to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and civilization. In accordance with all that, how then could this affect your worldview today? What exactly does the bible say? How exactly can it shape the way we see life and are these conclusions about the world we live in today parallel with what the bible states as truth?…
Who am I? Where do I come from? Why am I even here? These are the kind of questions that each and every one of us ask at a certain point of our live. Do I remember the first time I heard the words “God”, or “Bible”? I guess I was too young to recall. One thing I can certify however is that these two words epitomize the rocks I have used to build my worldview. The book of Genesis contains the very first ideologies that establish the fundamental levels of this framework through which I view and understand the world.…
In Genesis chapter 6 it is stated that the world had become wicked and full of evil but verse 6 states, "But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." It goes on to say that Noah was a just man and that Noah walked with God. Likewise, Ea called upon Utnapishtim saying unto him, "O man, the floods will come; now, save thyself; dismantle all thy home; with boards, construct a vessal.-water-tight and large...Preserve both man and beast without delay." The god Ea had commanded Utnapishtim to build an ark becuase of the wickedness of the rest of the world and was going to destroy everything with a worldwide flood. In verse 13 of Genesis 6 God says unto Noah, "The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood and shalt pitch the…
Next, God as a loving partner and God as a warrior are compatible with Noah and the Flood. As a loving partner, God allowed Noah to preach for 120 years about the flood (Genesis 6:3). This gave the people sufficient amount of time to harken to the words of Noah. Everyone had a chance to trust Noah and be saved. God showed compassion towards Noah by…
God, Rules the world. His throne is in heaven (Ps 103:19; Ezekiel 1: 26-28) where army of heaven was standing near him on his right and his left (1 Kings 22:19) He looks down from heaven…
The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…
